The camera features a compact 4-inch design. For optimal performance, mount the camera in a location that provides a clear field of view and is within range of your network connection.

1.3 Power and Network Connection (PoE+)

This camera supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), specifically 802.3at, which requires at least a 25W single-port adapter. PoE+ allows a single Ethernet cable to deliver both network connectivity and power to the camera, simplifying installation.

• Connect an Ethernet cable from your PoE+ switch or injector to the camera's RJ45 Network Port.
• Alternatively, use the included 12V DC Power Adapter for power and a separate Ethernet cable for network connection if PoE+ is not available.
